[gmx-users] tab completion gmx

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

Ah, you're doubtless installing from a git repo, and the completions are
not built and installed by default there. That's because we need to be able
to run the tools at build time to generate the completion-database files,
since the local repo might have changed everything, but it's inconvenient
to work out whether that's possible on the machine in use and adapt the
build system accordingly... The completions are pre-built in the normal
distribution tarball.

If you're on a normal machine and use

cmake -DGMX_BUILD_HELP=on

then the resulting installation will have a GMXRC that when sourced will
provide command-line completion.

Mark
